Embarrassing moments.Example below [http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/002452.html](http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/002452.html)

**Diane** : Just today I had an embarrassing moment (although it was more comical than embarrassing). I decided that I better take a pee break before I head to my kick-boxing class. As I am sitting on the toilet, I spread my legs and spit my gum into the toilet - or so I think.

A short time later I am stripping in the locker room and about rip the hair from my crotch. I look down and there is a string of gum stretched out from my crotch to my panties that are at my ankles.

The guys in the class never did figure out what us women were laughing about during the entire workout.

Sunbear-

My favorite was the one where it’s pathetic to keep a topic alive by adding to it now and then. Do you know the link?

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Besides, if you hadn’t raised the one about girls being goofy to write $2 checks, (but you say you like checks?)no one would have had the chance to disagree with you again. 🙂 )
